Chapter 2 A good man should kill a slave
Because he was worried that Li Chengliang would really make a move against the Wai and the Flying Tiger Army in Jinzhou, Wei Liangchen did not dare to stay in Beijing any longer, so he sent someone to report to the Guozhang Mansion, saying that he was in a hurry to return to Jiangnan in advance, and the little uncle could go south on his own. As for whether Sect Master Zheng is dissatisfied with this, it is a matter for his Zheng family, and it has nothing to do with Father-in-law Wei. Whether his Zheng family father and son really want to seize military power and command the imperial army to be right and stable also depends on the ability of his father and son. Zheng Guotai really wants to be able to put himself in the air, Wei Liangchen will definitely not draw his sword to face him, but will look up at this "brother-in-law".
There is basically no problem with the cooperation with the various yamen of the inner court, and now there is no problem with the four divisions and eight bureaus, and there is no problem with the imperial horse supervisor and the internal official supervisor, and the rest of the major units Wei Liangchen really don't have time to visit, so he asked Chen Mo to deal with the affairs of the four divisions and eight bureaus first, and the rest of the units will wait for the end of the year or next year to contact.
This also has an advantage, after June, the south will cooperate with Zhejiang to conquer the east, then there will be a harvest, to taste some sweetness from the four divisions and eight bureaus, and the rest of the units will be greedy, maybe there is no need for Wei Liangchen to send people to the door, they will rush to the post.
It can also be called the first rich to drive the later rich.
No matter what year it is, if there is money to be made and there are benefits to be made, it doesn't matter if you drill into it, it doesn't matter. The more the Ming Imperial Army flourished in the south, the more the inner court wanted to deal with Wei Liangchen. It is foreseeable that in the near future, the host and guest will definitely be replaced, and whether to cooperate or not is not Wei Liangchen begging others, but people want to look at him.
Even if the rest of the prisoners refuse to cooperate with him, Wei Liangchen doesn't care - the twisted melon is not sweet.
As for saying goodbye to Wanli, Wei Liangchen wanted to have a tearful scene of goodbye to the monarch and ministers before leaving, but Wanli was afraid that he didn't want to do this, so Wei Liangchen wisely stopped this thought. If you really want to say something else, the concubine is more worthy of going by herself than her husband, but she really doesn't have time.
Time is running out, and the love of children can only be put aside.
In the end, Wei Liangchen did not choose to enter the palace to say goodbye, he just wrote a letter to Ke Yinyue and Shouning respectively, and the East Palace asked someone to send a message to the second uncle, and did not send a letter directly to Xi Li. He believed that Xi Li would get the news from the second uncle.
He didn't go to Dong Ge again, his heart was undoubtedly complicated, he didn't want Dong Ge to marry Mongolia far away and die there, but what he could do now was really not as good as Li Chengliang.
At least, Li Chengliang's help to Yehebu is real, and even if he promises more, in the eyes of Dongge and Yehe, he is just bragging.
What's more, Li Chengliang's influence in Liaodong is by no means comparable to that of a close servant of the Son of Heaven. At least, now that Li Chengliang says a word, Nurhachi will definitely have to carry it. And he Wei Gonggong said a word, Nurhachi is afraid that he will have to weigh it first and then consider whether it is okay, and the result is most likely not to.
The difference is clear.
Therefore, in the face of not having absolute strength to interfere with or even decide the Liaodong Bureau, it is impossible for Wei Liangchen to persuade Brother Dong not to marry Mongolia, and Brother Dong will not listen to him at all.
This undoubtedly made him very uncomfortable, but what could he do, he couldn't take the thousand people in Tianjin to Heituala and challenge the 40,000 elite riders of the black-faced old man.
His brain is not broken, so he can only deeply suppress his regret for Dong Ge in the bottom of his heart.
………
Wei Liangchen only told two people about leaving Beijing, one was Li Yongzhen and the other was Tian Ergeng.
An east factory, a brocade guard.
Li Yongzhen is the internal file of the East Factory appointed by Wanli, so even if he does not have a backstage, this internal position is stable, and he still has Jin Zhong behind him. Needless to say, Tian Ergeng was born in the second generation of authentic officials, a rich man is handsome, and he can do things, and the key is to be a bold and well-known outlaw, this kind of person doesn't need Wei Liangchen to worry about anything for him at all. He told the other party that he had left Beijing, purely as a friend and a parting party.
Li Yongzhen and Tian Ergeng gave Wei Liangchen a farewell wine in a tavern outside Bei'anmen that did not afford to drink. Wei Liangchen didn't say anything to Li Yongzhen, only said a few words about the Black Flag Arrow Team.
"I've already explained to Cui Yingyuan, and I also said hello to Gonggong Jin, you can rest assured about the Arrow Team." Li Yongzhen raised his glass to Wei Liangchen, who took a drink and drank it all.
Tian Ergeng sandwiched two chopsticks and vegetables, and suddenly asked, "I heard that you went to Ningyuan Bo's Mansion?" ”
Wei Liangchen nodded: "The old lady wants to see us, can we not go." Then he smiled, "But it's not a good thing, don't speculate for more than half a sentence." ”
"You have to be careful." Tian Ergeng put down his chopsticks, "Li Chengliang's third son, Li Ruzhen, is in charge of Beizhen and is my Shangguan." ”
"Li Ruzhen is in charge of Beizhen?"
Wei Liangchen was stunned, he really didn't know that the commander of Beizhenfu was Li Ruzhen.
"Sheren is a close servant of the Son of Heaven, a foreign commander and eunuch, although the Li family is dissatisfied with you, but they don't dare to commit murder to you." Li Yongzhen went through the customs with Wei Liangchen, and he knew the grievances between the Li family and this former housekeeper, and he said with some disdain:
"Li Ruzhen is in charge of Beizhen, but although this person is a general, he has not been in battle and does not know the soldiers. and by virtue of his father and brother's strength, he thought he was close to his ministers in brocade clothes and refused to live under others, so his relationship with his colleagues was very inconsistent," he looked at Tian Ergeng with a sideways face, "It's very stiff to have trouble with your Luo Dadu." ”
Tian Ergeng smiled, although he didn't speak, but obviously acquiesced in this matter.
"It's him Li Ruzhen who is in charge of Beizhen, and our family is afraid of him?"
Wei Liangchen really doesn't look down on Li Ruzhen, a minister of Fujinyi in Beizhen, because this person is as timid as a mouse, and the deterioration of the war in Liaodong is inseparable from his second brother Li Rubai, but Li Ruzhen also "contributes" a lot.
After the fall of Kaiyuan, Tieling became an isolated city in northern Liaoning. However, it is not too late to make amends, after the loss of Kaiyuan, the Ming army in Liaodong should immediately transfer troops to defend Tieling, Tieling is in, and it can be talked about recovery in the future, Tieling is lost again, Liaobei is lost, and the power of the Ming army in Liaobei is gone.
Therefore, some officials of the imperial court at that time thought that Li Chengliang had been in Liaodong for a long time, and his prestige in the hearts of the Liao people was extremely high, and the Jurchens were terrified when they heard his name.
Moreover, Li Chengliang's tomb is in Tieling, Li Chengliang's family is in Tieling, and it is the best choice for the Li family to guard Tieling. So Yang Hao and Zhou Yongchun, the governor of Liaodong, wrote to the imperial court and transferred Li Ruzhen, the third son of Li Chengliang, to Liaodong.
However, Li Ruzhen is a typical trouser brother, relying on his father's military exploits to become the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, and has been living in the capital, and has no experience in leading troops to fight at all. Giving such an important town as Tieling to such a young master, the outcome is self-evident.
Perhaps Yang Hao saw this, and Li Ruzhen transferred him back to Shenyang shortly after his arrival. Shenyang Tieling is only one hundred and twenty miles, so Li Ruzhen guards Shenyang, and can respond to Tieling at any time.
A month after the Battle of Kaiyuan, Nurhachi led an army of 50,000 to Tieling. The guards of the Tieling Guard had already detected Nurhachi's movements, and they flew horses to report to Li Ruzhen. If Li Ruzhen can send troops to rescue him in time, he will form an internal and external offensive against Nurhachi, and even if he can't win, he won't fall quickly, and at least he can consume the enemy's vital strength.
However, Li Ruzhen was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and his movements were slow, which delayed the fighter. The battle of Tieling began, the defenders of the city under the leadership of the guerrilla Yu Chengming and Li Ketai resisted bravely, and the Eight Banners Army attacked fiercely with chariots and ladders, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The spies arranged by Nurhachi in the city played a role again, and when the battle was raging, the spies opened the city gate, and at about the hour, the Eight Banners army poured into the city from the north gate, and Tieling fell. More than 4,000 soldiers were killed in the city, and all the people's property was captured.
At this time, Li Ruzhen had already rushed to Tieling, but he did not dare to compete with Nurhachi, and set up camp fifteen miles away from the city to watch. The brave general He Shixian repeatedly asked for battle, but he did not move. Nurhachi learned that the Ming army came to help, so he led his troops to meet the enemy, Li Ruzhen was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew the army, before withdrawing the army, he cut off more than 170 heads of the dead outside the city, as the enemy soldiers killed on the battlefield, and went back to take the risk of receiving rewards.
The son of Jiangmen behaves so reluctantly that it is embarrassing.
What Li Yongzhen said is not false at all, there is nothing to be afraid of this kind of person.
"Li Chengliang's sons, such as Song, are the most resolute and have a fatherly style. Secondly, it should be five sons such as plum, but sexual restlessness and not a general. The rest of the sons are all rats, Li Chengliang really wants to be my enemy, so I will clean the portal for him, so that he will be killed by the name of the rat. Wei Liangchen half-jokingly.
After Li Yongzhen and Tian Ergeng heard this, they glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Only you dare to say this." Li Yongzhen got up slowly, "There is no banquet in the world, Yongzhen is grateful for the great grace of the people, but it will be useful in the future, and the people will be driven, and there will be no complaints." ”
Tian Ergeng also picked up his wine glass and said lightly: "If I can contribute, I will contribute, and if I can't, I can't do anything." ”
"Brother Li and I are both eunuchs, we are not afraid of anything else, we are afraid that in the future, people will say that you Tian Ergeng is a eunuch."
Wei Liangchen laughed, raised his glass and drank it all, then hugged his fists at the two, turned around and got out of the tavern, turned over his horse, and whipped away.
…………..
Jinzhou City is not big, it used to belong to the Liaoyang Road of the pseudo-yuan, Hongwu eight years to rebuild Jinzhou Wei here, the governance office is located in Jinxian County, it has the Jinzhou middle left office, the Jinzhou middle right office, are thousands of households.
The remnants of the Surrender and Flying Tiger Army were placed by Yang Hao in the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Station to wait for shipping, and the reason why they were placed here was because the guerrilla Shang Xueli of the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute was Yang Hao's old department.
Wei Liangchen knew that this Shang Xueli would be a general under Mao Wenlong in the future, and Tong Yangzhen, the cousin of the Fujin Tong Jia clan, was captured and killed by Shang Xueli.
Shang Xueli was later martyred in the battle with the Houjin army, and his eldest son Shang Kejin also died for the country like his father, and both father and son were famous anti-Jin generals in Liaodong, and their deaths were not heroic.
It's a pity that the Shang family not only produces loyal and righteous people, but also traitors through the ages.
Shang Xueli was later posthumously awarded the title of "King of Pingnan County" by his enemy Pseudo-Qing, thanks to his second son Shang Kexi, a big traitor who recognized the thief as his father and had his hands stained with the blood of his compatriots.
Wei Liangchen read a work of "Han'er is not a slave" in his previous life, and the Shang family ended up happily in the book. Unfortunately, that's just family talk.
In reality, there are no queens who are loyal to them, and good men do not kill slaves.
The land in southern Liaoning is very fertile, and the Han people reach as many as one million, which can be said to be the big granary of eastern Liaoning. The area where Jinzhou is located is roughly Lushun and Dalian in later generations, this place is an important military town after more than two hundred years, and the soldiers must seize the place, but at this time it is not taken seriously, and there are not many garrisons.
After the Jin army captured Shenyang after the first year of the Apocalypse, it successively sent troops to the south to capture Anshan, Haizhou, Yaozhou, Gaizhou, Yongning, Jinzhou and other places, but because the main force of the Jin army was placed in the direction of Shanhaiguan at that time, it did not attach importance to the area south of Liaoyang, so there were not many garrisons and horses left, giving a Ming Dynasty general with a sense of sea power an opportunity to take advantage of, and eventually rose to a military force that seriously threatened the belly of the Houjin, at its peak, with 100,000 soldiers.
This person is Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty, who ruled Phi Island, North Korea.
From the first year of the Apocalypse to the second year of Chongzhen, the area of Jinzhou and Lushun was basically controlled by Mao Wenlong, and the Jin and Lushun areas were used as bases to guerrilla attacks in Yaozhou, Gaizhou and other places, and cooperated with the Ming army in Yizhou, Xuanzhou and other places on the Yalu River in the north and south, which greatly contained the Jin army and reduced the pressure on the Ming army in the direction of Shanhaiguan (Ningyuan and Jinzhou) to a certain extent.
Before Mao Wenlong died, Houjin could only launch a certain offensive against the Ming army in the direction of Shanhaiguan, but both the scale and the harvest were more than worth the loss, and the capture was limited. After the death of Mao Wenlong, the Manchurian army, which had been renamed the Qing army, dared to invade the interior of the Ming Dynasty around the pass, and five times before and after, killing millions of people, and countless other materials, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Manchu Dynasty.
It can be seen that the existence of Dongjiang Town had a significant impact on the strategic situation of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After Mao Wenlong's death, the 100,000 Ming army on the Dongjiang River fell into a state of internal strife and leaderlessness, and the generals were busy competing for the name of the general army of Phi Dao, attacking each other, and had no interest in attacking the Jin army ashore, and even took the initiative to give up the Jin, brigade and other places on land, which made Mao Wenlong's strategy of basing himself on Phi Dao to contain Houjin completely bankrupt.
The Ming army of the Dongjiang River did not dare to go ashore, the Jin army naturally couldn't ask for it, they did not have a water division, and naturally they would not go to the sea to attack the Ming army.
This situation lasted until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
Wei Liangchen decided to come to Jinzhou to pick up people in person, that is, he wanted to inspect the islands in southern Liaoning on the spot, and see if he could establish Dongjiang Town in advance, or set up military bases on several large islands, and reserve grain and ordnance, so that he could develop into a fixed shipping route at the same time as the future war, and undertake the maritime trade between Liaodong and Korea in the future.
He had considered stationing in Phi Dao now, but because Phi Dao was actually under the control of North Korea, and it was 400 li south of Jinzhou and Liaonan, if a naval base was set up on Phi Dao, it would cause international disputes (North Korea), and second, it would be difficult to transport food, soldiers, and weapons, so the Donggang town he preferred was located on the coastal island of Jinzhou.
But before that, he had to go to the Golden State Center Left Office to pick people up.
